City Administrator Bruce Loney, Public Works Director FROM: Michael Hullander, Public W ork~ Supervisor DATE: June 6, 2006 SUBJECT: Consider Ordinance No. 764 An Ordinance Pertaining to the Installation of Grease Interceptors And Amending Section 3: 1 0 of the City Code INTRODUCTION: Attached is ordinance No. 764 , an ordinance pertaining to the requirement of grease interceptor installation in establishments that prepare food and amending Section 3.l0of the City Code. BACKGROUND: The City created a sanitary sewer policy in April 2005. which established guidelines for maintenance and inspection ofthe system, an emergency response, reductions to inflow/infiltration, training, work schedules, weather conditions, and documentation. This was created on the recommendation from the League ofMNCities. The League is also recommending that cities require grease interceptors for places that prepare food for the public. These include schools, restaurants, cafes, dining rooms, hotels, motels, bars, taverns, or related businesses. These entities all produce grease. Generally this grease is washed down the drain as a liquid when it is hot. After it enters our sewer system, it cools and hardens which reduces or even blocks sewage flow resulting in a sewer backup. Our code currently states that it is unlawful to discharge "water or waste which contains more than lpartsper million by weight of fat, oil or grease" (Section 3 J 0 Subd. 5). Requiring grease interceptors would prevent this illegal grease from entering our system. The interceptor would be located between the plumbing from dishwashers/sinks and our system. The interceptor would separate grease/oil from allowable discharge. The grease. is stored in the interceptor until the owner provides regular maintenance and cleaning where the grease will then be properly disposed. Attached is a copyofthe Loss Control Memo from the League ofMN Cities. The main reason that the League is recommending requiring grease interceptors is to reduce the city's liability in the event of a sewer backup. According to the memo, cities can be held liable if they do not attempt to mitigate grease problems in the sanitary sewer system. l~ ~ >- \ · \. L~e;s~ve\een sent to affected establishments. A copy of the letter and the mailing list is attached to the memo. There are two areas of the ordinance that need discussion: 1. How much time should the city allow for complYing with the installation of the interceptor? The proposed ordinance allows. three years for installation of a grease interceptor. Whatis Council's recommendation for a timeline of installation? 2. Should we allow exemptions? Some cities allow an exemptionifthe operation is n6t'-a grease producer such as Sandwich shops, i.e. Subway, Coffee shops, Juice bars, Delicatessens, Meat sales, Fish shops, Fruit and vegetable markets and others that claim. they do not produce wastewater containing grease. We have attached letters and e-mails regarding businesses which would like an exemption. All memos and information from the League of MN Cities have been reviewed by staff and Sarah Sonsalla from Kennedy & Graven. Ms. Sonsallaalso reviewed and revised the ordinance. Other than the issues for. discussion we recommend approval oftms ordinance. Many cities have already implemented grease interceptor ordinances including Bloomington, Mankato, Montrose, Woodbury, and Jordan. ALTERNATIVES: 1.

GREAT BIG GOBS OF GREASE By Ellen A. Longfellow, LMCIT Loss Control Attorney In a recent LMCIT case, a city was sued for damages involving a sewer backup into a house. The public works employees responded immediately and cleared the line. They discovered that the backup had been caused by a blockage consisting of an accumulation of grease in the city's sewer line. The Public Works Director investigated and discovered that the most probable sources of the grease were a private club and a bakery. Both establishments generated grease and both did not have grease traps or interceptors. The . Building Inspector had allowed the bakery to operate without a grease trap because he did not feel that it would cause a problem. When the club first applied for a building permit, it did not serve food. Later, it started selling food at its bar and having dinners such as fish fries. The city did not investigate this until the sewer backup. . The jury found that the city was not negligent in regard tothe maintenance of the sewer lines or in its response to the backup but it found the city negligent for not requiring the club and the bakery to have grease traps. The club and bakery were also found negligent for dumping grease in the sewer line. This case points out some of the problems cities have in controlling what is put into their sanitary sewer lines and the problems that grease can create. This presentation will focus on what the problem is and what the city can do to reduce the risk of sewer backups caused by grease accumulations. PROBLEM Gre::lse primarily related to food preparation from commercial and residential establishments gets washed down the drain in liquid form when it is hot. When!t cools down later in the city's sanitary sewer line, it solidifies and blocks the sewage flow. Legal Issues The city has a duty to exercise reasonable care in the maintenance of its sewer lines. If it doesn't, it could be found to have been negligent. There are two areas where the city could be negligent: . Allowing grease into its sewer lines; and . Failing to properly maintain the sewer lines to remove the grease before it creates a blockage problem. The city needs to focus on these two areas to avoid problems: . Stop the grease from getting into the line; and . Remove the grease from the line. 44 '" . STEPS TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SUCH BACKUPS 1. Sewer Use Ordinance Most Minnesota cities have a sewer use ordinance that prohibits certain discharges into their sanitary sewer lines. Grease is often a prohibited discharge. Ifit isn't in the city's present ordinance, the city should consider amending its ordinance to include it. In addition, the city could also require grease interceptors and inspection of those interceptors in its ordinance. It is important that city employees know what the sewer use ordinance prohibits. The sewer use ordinance can also establish procedures for criminal and civil remedies for violation of the ordinance. Many ordinances authorize cities to collect the amount of damages or the costs of clean~up if a city can show that the grease source was the. cause of those damages. If there are no procedures in your ordinance for enforcement or they are not clear, you should consider revising the ordinance to make it easier to enforce. The ordinance can also authorize city employees to inspect private property to determine if there is an illegal discharge. 2. Nuisance Ordinance The city could use its nuisance ordinance to stop grease discharges. Grease discharges could be classified as public nuisances or they could fall under the category of something that could cause damages to another. Under the nuisance ordinance, the city may be able to also collect the cost of removing the nuisance either directly or by assessing those costs on the property taxes. 3. Building Inspectors, Planners, and Health Inspectors The building inspectors look at a building anytime it is remodeled or constructed. It is important that the public works department coordinate with the building inspectors in regard to requiring grease interceptors in establishments. The building inspectors need to know ifthe city has had a grease problem in its lines and, if so, where the problems are in relation to the location of the establishment. Planners revie'N proposed development. If they see a potential grease source, they can bring up the grease issue and notify the building inspectors and the public works departments that the establishment maybe a grease source. State or county health inspectors regularly inspect restaurants and other possible grease sources. The city should contact them to see whether they look at the grease traps. If they don't now, they may be abb to start and notify the city if they see any problems with them. 4. Maintenance The city must have~. regular system of maintaining its sewer lines. If there is a problem with grease in an area, the city should establish more inspections and maintenance to address it. There doesn't have to be a sewer backup for the city to incn~;lse its maintenance in an area. Knowledge of accumulations of grease would be enough to give the city notice of a problem. Those areas with grease build ups should be put under the list of "problem areas" which obtain more maintenance and inspections. Maintenance should be done in conjunction with attempting to eliminate the source of the grease. 45 ~ . c If a city can prove that the discharge of grease is from a specific source and that it caused the city to perform additional maintenance, the city may be able to have the business pay the costs. 5. Investigate Sources of Grease Check any place that prepares large quantities of food such as restaurants, clubs, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, group homes, and apartments. Other sources could be business or industry such as bakeries and food processing plants. Write letters, telephone and visit these places to find out what they do with their grease. Be sure to keep records of your investigation. This will show that the city is exercising reasonable care in trying to discover the source ofthe problem. .- Once you have a good idea of where the grease is coming from, write to the establishment notifying them that they need to stop putting grease into the city's sewer system. In many cases, this will mean installing a grease interceptor or grease trap. 6. Grease Interceptors or Traps The Minnesota Plumbing Code (Section 4715.1110) requires commercial buildings to have grease interceptors of "sufficient size and efficiency. . .when in the opinion of the administrative authority, greasy wastes can be introduced into the drainage system in quantities that can cause line stoppage." A grease interceptor is atank in a private sanitary sewer line which serves sinks from the kitchen area. It traps the grease so thatit doesn't go into the city's sewer line. Clearly, if the city has had a problem, it should consider requiring grease interceptors. Even when an establishment has a grease interceptor, it often is the wrong size, in the wrong location or maintained improperly. Another common problem is with dishwashers connected to the grease interceptor. If the water comingout ofthe dishwater is so hot that it melts the grease, the interceptor is not able to trap it. Be sure and check to see where the interceptor is located in relationship to the dishwasher. . ~ In response to grease problems from restaurants, the City of Maple Grove has implemented a program ~' ,/ where city employees inspect grease interceptors for businesses every six months. The city discovered that ""# / many grease interceptors were not being properly maintained. Generally, a city would not have a duty to inspect private grease traps but if the city undertakes that duty, it would have to do it properly. The benefits to the city as a whole mayoutweigh the risks oftaking on this additional duty. 7. Grease Disposal Alternatively, an establishment may be able to show that it collects its grease before it goes into the sewer system and then disposes of it properly. One method may be to have a separate grease tank with no plumbing connections provided by a company which recycles grease and cooking oil. 8. Agreements with Significant Industrial Users If the city knows that there is a factory or food processor which is a significant user of the city's sanitary sewer system, it could establish an agreement with that company. This agreement may allow some level of 46 . . discharges but still would prohibit discharge of grease that could cause ablockage in the city's lines. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has sample agreements. Another method to impose controls on industrial users would be to establish a wastewater discharge permit system. If a user failed to follow the permit conditions, the city could revoke the permit. 9. Document City's Actions Document all of the city's actions related to grease in the sewer line. This would include any increased maintenance, investigations for sources of grease and public communication. 10. Community Education It is important for cities to communicate why grease is a problem in its sewer lines and what businesses and citizens can do to help eliminate the problem. Cities can send out brochures and flyers to citizens, discuss it in city newsletters or at city council meetings, and use web sites. People are more likely to cooperate with the city if they understand the problem. G:\PCLOSSlTlNAI99WORKSH\NOTEBOOKIGREASE.WPD 47 . , .. .. ~ '" ." . .. March 7, 2006 Michael Hullander ! Public Works Supervisor City of Shakopee i 129 Holmes Street ~outh Shakopee,~. 5~379 Dear Mr. Hullander, I am writing in response to the proposed City of Shakopee ordinance requiring the installation of grease interceptors in all fpod service establishments. Canterbury Park is ia large unique property built 21 years ago. . 400 acre site. . 60 buildipgs . 39 buildi~gs with sanitary sewer service . Around ~O,OOO feet of private sanitary sewer main. . 30 sanitaj-y sewer manholes Our food service c~msists of: . 2 large kitchens-one in the Grandstand and the other in the Stable Area . 8 concesSion stands that have grease hoods and fry food. . 6 additioral concession stands that serve food. i i This giVesusa tot~1 of 16 food service locations. Some of the larger kitchens have more then one sewer main or riser and more then 1 three compartment sink. We may be required to install more than 16 individual grease ihterceptors. Our other option would be to install I large centrally located grease interceptor. Both bPtions would be very expensive. ! The cost to install b stand-alone grease interceptor at a 3 compartment sink would be $3,000. Therefore it could easily cost u:s $48,000 to install interceptors through out the property. We are waiting on pricing ofa large unit located futside. I would think a large unit would cost more than $40,000. On top of the initial installation cost, w;e have the cost of cleaning, inspection, and record keeping. 1 could understanq the need to install grease interceptors, if the city sewer system has plugged up, In 21 years, 1 am unaware of any problem, Our manholes are relatively clean and grease free, I would like to invite you out to i~spect our system. Our sewer system /comes together at manhole #6 located by the main parking lot. A 12" sewer line from the Grandstand meets up with a 12" sewer line from the Stable Area, The outlet of this manhole is a '5" line that runs I ,960 feet through 5 other manholes before it hits the city sanitary sewer system. Please se~ the enclosed drawings. Because of the di*ances and the number of manholes involved, I believe any grease in the system would get trapped in our!sewer lines and/or manholes before it would impact the city system. These manholes act as multiple grease interceptors. Please consider 0*1' multiple manholes system as effectively acting like a grease interceptor. We would follow all of the s~me guide lines on city access,inspection, cleaning, monitoring and record keeping you require for grease! interceptors, Sincerely Mark Erickson Facilities VP 952-496-6434 CANTERBURY PARK HOLDING CORPORATION 1100 CANTERBURY ROAD SHAKOPEE, MINNESOTA 55379 TELEfHONE 952-445-7223 FAX 952-496-6400 WWW.CANTERBURYPARK.COM ..~ l . ~' 0 . o. , . . - Vi'-- .- - .MH.5 I [ . 1 ' . i ,.." ~e~ E-Nt..AR6E17 P~-1\N. .' ir--m-----., )l,H1, .MH.

I would like to request that Shakopee Public Schools be exempt from this ordinance at all schools that do not have a fryer system in place for the following reasons: There is no grease that we dispose of in the school district. Our new high school will have a fryer system and we may need to install a grease interceptor in that school but at all the other schools there is no grease used whatsoever. As for food partials going into the sewer system. from the schools, this is minimal. We have garbage disposals that we use and our dish machines have a food wastebasket that catches all the food that is left in the dishwasher. This basket is emptied into the garbage cans and not back into the sinks and thus down the drains. Due to the cost 1 would assume would be associated with the procedure, I would request that Shako pee Public Schools be exempt from installing grease interceptors at the existing schools but that we could install grease interceptors in our future schools. 1 appreciate your time in looking into this matter. Sincerely, Deb Ross - Food Service Director Shakopee Public Schools 505 Holmes St. S Shakopee,~ 55379 952-496-5075 dross@shakopee.k12.mn.us *1 am also sending a copy in the mail. 505 Holmes St. S, .

Currently, I own/operate 4 Subway restaurant locations within the are*. My store's are as follows: 232 South Marschall Road, 1158 Vierling Drive, 4109 Dean Lake~ Blvd., and 10700 Bloomington Ferry Road. Subway restaurants coni pared to other fast food restaurants are extremely clean and very low maintenance. Subway ~estaurants do not use any type of grease fryers nor do we prepare a lot of our product thus creating a lot of waste. Subway does not uSe liquid frying grease for anything fortheir.operations. Th~ vast majority of our product is shipped in and ready to serve, For example, our steak products along with other protein products are all pre-cooked, Once our protein products reach ~65 degrees they are ready to serve. Our protein products are either micro- waved or heated in our ~onvection oven. Things that need to be prepared on a daily basis are our vegetable slicing along ~ortioning out of items, Subway has been adding additional stores inside ofWal-Marts across the nation, Wal-Mart is aware of our operationsl therefore is not charging Subway franchisees for this additional (:ost as I am requesting from the I city of Shakopee, The city of Blo()rnil1gton has four food health . inspections a year at my Bloomington Ferry Road location arid they have never brought up a grease trap concern wit? me. Mr. Hullander I would ~e more than happy to give you a tour of my stores so you can see for yourself the operations.; My phone # is 952.261.7617 and I look forward to hearing from you, Thank you for your tim~. i Sincer~~y, '." . . .. .

Jim Wolfe EFLOW Inc. & PJC Corp, 16670 Franklin Tr, S.E. Suite 240 Prior Lake, MN 55372 952-226-2066 952-226-2416 Fax 6/1/2006 Dear Nick, Your response is much appreciated. I hope that this email answers your questions. New businesses will be required to have grease interceptors in place at the time of the plumbing inspection, before they are allowed to open their doors. As for existing businesses, your suggestion of a 3 month time limit will betaken into consideration. As you point out, 3 years is probably too long of a time period. The 2nd paragraph of part E should read 500mg/L. That was a typo and had been a lowercase L (1) which looks almost identical to the number 1 (one). That means that no person should put more than 500 milligrams of grease for every liter of waste into the system. We will send out a notice if the council approves the ordinance, along with a copy ofthe approved ordinance with any changes that might be made from the draft ordinance. Thank you for your response, Mike Hullander
